There's a very favourable review update from Pocketnowvideo on YouTube here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30lDZeWN82w&feature=sdig&et=1262332263.77
where he calls it his ideal device. Also interesting to note that he reckons the battery life is significantly better than the iPhone.
Hehe....and we all know the Winmo bias that Pocketnow has....

Perhaps he didn't encounter it - I never have and I'm not alone.
In fact, none of the reviews I've seen have mentioned it. That may be down to the fact that they didn't test messaging that well or it may be because they just didn't experience any issues.

Thats true, before upgrading the ROM from 1.43 to 1.48 I had a divine device. It worked flawlessly for 4 weeks. Then stupid me I upgraded to 1.48, and I screwed myself really bad. My previous ROM worked perfect.

found this in another thread, for X1 users this works great and gives a slightly better experience than the panel

Yes, been running it for a few days on my X1 with no problems.
Prefer this one over the panel too, allows me to do other tasks and leave it running in the background
Ya, this is really awesome! I can't believe i can do so much without using Opera!
wm6.5 is out??
It's not bad but it doesn't refresh like it should so you find there are posts, status updates, photos and all sorts of stuff missing from the news feeds.
Here too. And it's not updateing my status. But, overall, it,s ok.

I believe the updates are staggered so your connection isn't flooded with continuous updates, although when i refreshed it seemed fairly fast. WM 6.5 Beta is out, they pulled the link on XDA after M$ complained that their CAB had sneaked onto the net. FYI, i did a search and haven't found it anywhere... but i'm waiting for 7 anyways... not a Honeycomb Kid, myself.
Just a note to say this app has been updated, and is now officially out. It has fixed a few things, such as being unable to refresh your own wall, but frustratingly a few bugs still exist (for me anyway). Get it here: http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=74767568466&h=HojHN&u=0JC5r&ref=mf

There are a tons of WM 6.5 ROM's out there, 6.5 is far more than a CAB, even though it isn't much more than 6.1. The honeycomb is long gone too. Titanium is really the best part, kinda makes panels, TF3D, anything else obsolete.

Lol ok fair enough, I was just posting the link from the official Windows Mobile Facebook page. Here is the actual page minus the Facebook frame: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx Trust is good

fyi,
good news: you can comment on statuses now.
bad news: you can't see other people's comments on statuses (nor even if there are any) without clicking on the status, going to their profile and then changing to the wall tab.
am i the only one that primarily uses facebook for commenting on statuses and reading other people's comments? pain in the arse!
i have lost kinetic scrolling from the beta to the offical rom.
has anyone got kinetic scrolling?

Why is that? The Eris and Hero Share about 98% of software\hardware. We are lucky the Eris Rom got leaked and now we have working 2.1 Roms for everyday use.
Im guessing, if the gmail thing is true, that in a couple of hours (a day tops)we will have that ported to our beloved 2.1 roms for our heroes.

What's annoying for a casual user/reader is that all these ROMs say "100%" but then there's things like facebook linking issues. I like Fresh 1.1 so much that I'm seriously afraid to wipe and lose some functions I like!

I thought I was the only one saying 100%
My ROM is 100% because it is 100% usable, stable, and can be used easily as a daily ROM, and it was the first one to become that way. There are bugs and problems, but there are ALWAYS bugs and problems in everything, even if you don't notice it. Facebook syncs and links and everything else is great. There are small things in it that need some tweaking, but that's why I keep releasing new versions.

I'm a pansy then. I wish there was a good guide on how to backup using mybackup (my nandroid hasn't even been working for me recently? not sure why), but I heard it won't restore data from mybackup, so I'm afraid to use that. I'm just so attached I want it to be as painless as possible and I'm one of those people too afraid to do a wipe because I never have!

you can't expect these ROMs to be 100% perfect...
they'll be perfect when we get the 2.1 update for our phone..
but for now those 2.1 roms that are out for the hero work perfectly fine for some...

Yeah, I'm thinking of taking the plunge, I just am not as tech-savvy. But a lot of people say "this is a great daily ROM" and then they say things like "fine for some..." so it's just a tad misleading is all I'm saying. To some people losing visual VM is worth it for 2.1, but I'm sure to others (myself excluded) visual voicemail is really cool and they don't want to deal without it. Even though there is a "workaround" so it's a bit weird to me, but I still want to play with it so I think I will see how bad the wipe will be haha.
hey everyone, nice to meet you all, been lurkin' these forums since i got my t-mobile dash on its release day.
but anyways i've got a few questions and comments
what is the most popular and most highly supported custom rom? would it be Kumars? - what roms are the fastest?
-i have bsb tweaks and c00kie on my phone. my phone will 'wake' on a new text and if i try to unlock it before i get the notification (but after it waking) it'll freeze up. its pretty exasperating
-is it my fault? i'm almost always constantly on my phone and it seems that every phone i ever own tends to lag or lock up from time to time, i wonder if im.. 'doing too much' with it.. but i wouldn't expect such a powerful phone as this..

I think energyrom might be the most popular. I would suggest searching youtube for HD2 ROM review, or something like that. You'll see a couple reviews showing each and you'll be able to decide for yourself.

No, it's not your fault, it happens to the best of us. BTW, the lighter ROMs like energy seem to do less of that than the stock. I think it's kind of like buying a PC with a bunch of bloatware, a lean OS always runs faster and more stable.
On the same vain, I have a Droid, a 3gs and the HD2, and I must say the HD2 lags and freezes the most, followed by the Droid and the the Iphone is the most stable, even after jail-breaking and modifying it extensively. I attribute this to the tight integration of the OS and hardware, unlike Android and WiMo which have different OS and Hardware manufacturers, and thus leads to bloat and incompatibilities.

NRG's roms are really good too. Come pre-loaded with a lot of apps. Great on the eyes (eye candy ) and very fast. Are you running the stock rom right now (that you are experiencing the lockups with) ?

Anyone know how to make opera load mobile versions of sites like youtube? Every time I check the setting to load mobile sites, it loads a funky version of the site. It will not actually load the mobile site as I can see it's not in the URL. I can type in the URL "www.m.youtube.com" but it never does it by default. Is there a setting to set in the opera config to fix this? My main reason for fixing is I would love to have youtube links sent to me in email open the youtube app but it requres the mobile version of youtube to load in opera.

random audio issues
I too am another person who has witnessed the audio issues on ALL of the roms based off the 2.0 leak. Ive tried every rom you could name and they all had audio issues even ic3. I believe maybe its a certain batch of phones that got shipped out because not everyone has this problem. The only roms that never gave me audio issues were the 1.5 roms. But for some strange reason I think this might have something to do with our phones trying to look for gsm prl instead of cdma prl auto, but then again Im not that smart lol. I do see this issue being fixed when the official update is released though.
I flash to JP3 yesterday Error with the wifi tethering Is anyone having this problem
Yep.. seems to be a known issue. Honestly, I have already returned to JG5 again. There aren't really any benefits to me for using Froyo yet.
Unrelated info, it's stuff like this which is why companies don't publicise their beta programs (because otherwise they get flooded with hundreds of duplicates of the same bug report).

That's true, but the fact is most of us probably bought it soon after opening night, and would still again.. I would.. GPS will get fixed, but anyway, my point is, if they officially open the beta program, they need to officially accept bug reports for them. That's probably why they instead leak firmwares instead.
